    Excellent tutorial and look at your technique, and the results speak for themselves- extremely smart and beautiful. Another Master's Class! 👏 👏 👏

    Hello Mark. Good update on what you have been up to. Yeah sometimes it is better to take a step back and look at what you have done. It can give you a bit of breathing space and help you to decide if your plans for the next stage will fit in and work or not. All the best, Mark.

    Great update Mark👍, its all coming together nicely. I use coloured tile grout and dried out play pit sand so it's nice and clean, I put pigment powders in the mix to change colour. Only paid around £3.50 for 12kg of sand, it's going to last me a lifetime.
    Just a little tip for your videos, could you turn down the gain on the music so it is a little lower than your speech which is very quiet. I can either not hear you or the music blasts out really load depending on the volume set when watching. Also fade the music out when you cut it of, I like it, a good choice but it just stops too abrupt.
    Keep up the great work, all the best. Cheers Rob.

      Thank Al, yeah I was getting a bit ahead of myself so thought focus on this bit to get finished and then use the thinking time to work out what I do next, it means then I get better videos as I’m able to show progress rather than plans slow and steady wins the race lol, thanks for watching mate 🙂👍🏻

    Good job. I use real soil but I have also used brown wood filler for mud and added chinchilla dust

    Looking good Mark. Very impressed with how you make the ground cover. I’ll need to do a little bit of that myself soon.

    Nice good cheap way to make ground cover, would cost a small fortune to do it in ready made
